Groundbreaking AI research shows how fine particulate matter (PM2.5) increases SARS-CoV-2 infection risk through a molecular pathway controlled by the NPC1 gene—finally explaining why COVID-19 hits populations in polluted areas so much harder.

Original paper: AI-guided multi-omics analysis identifies NPC1-modulated susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection under PM2.5 exposure. — Nature communications. 10.1038/s41467-026-71196-3
